Hardie Siding Installation
We recommend using the services provided by our professionals. However, for those who can DIY, here’s how we install James Hardie siding:
The required tools for installation:
- Protective equipment;
- Pneumatic sliding nail gun;
- 16-gauge finish nail gun for the trim;
- Tape measure and pencil;
- Circular saw of your choice;
- Saw blade.
How we install the siding:
- Make and install a starter strip;
- Find stud closest to 12′ out from the trim;
- Leave a 1/18″ gap between siding and trim;
- Nail the first plank;
- Ensure joint flashing has been installed before nailing the end of the plank;
- Slip a piece of joint flashing behind the plank;
- Nail 3/8 from the edge of the plank;
- Stagger field joints every 32″ when installing the next course (for better aesthetics);
- Follow the previous steps.
We follow this procedure, plus other industry best practices not listed here, to ensure that once your siding is up, it remains up.
Note that you will need a professional with the knowledge and experience to carry out the installation project.
